"I liked this more than I expected to! It takes a good author to take storylines I don’t normally like and make me like them."
Emily Beaumont
"Absolutely adorable romance ❤️"
Alexandra Jones
"I enjoyed this book. Has by far the most erotic scenes in any book I’ve read lol. A shorter books but not any less good. There is good banter and wittiness between the characters. I do like the characters but there were times I felt a little annoyed by the male lead Ash. I understand his hardships, but sometimes his attitude was not justly. BUT even with all that I enjoyed the book!!! "

"This book reminds me of a mashup between “Beauty and the Beast” with “Phantom of the Opera” and mix in really great love scenes and you have a really great book. I didn’t want it to end !"

"I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read with characters I grew to love and understand their personalities. There is clever and funny banter. It is pretty heavy on the spicy scenes but they have a purpose in the book and storyline. "

"Well sign me up as a card carrying member of Tessa Dare’s fan club, because I loved this! I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump, but this seemed to cure that seeing as I read it within the span of 4 hours! I laughed, I cried, and I want to read more, and really, what’s better than that?<br/><br/>Emma was so much fun to read and Ash hurt my heart in the best way. I don’t know if it was billed as such, but this totally was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and to that I say YES PLEASE ALWAYS. So that helped too.<br/><br/>I was pretty convinced I didn’t like regency romance, but turns out I just hadn’t found my niche. And now that I found it I’ll just stay right here, thanks very much!"
